Chernobyl [HBO]

This looks very, very good.

Chernobyl, a five-part miniseries co-production from HBO and Sky, dramatizes the story of the 1986 nuclear accident, one of the worst man-made catastrophes in history — and of the sacrifices made to save Europe from unimaginable disaster.

Chernobyl is written and executive produced by Craig Mazin (The Huntsman: Winter’s War) and directed by Johan Renck (Breaking Bad). Produced by Sister Pictures and The Mighty Mint as an HBO/Sky co-production, Emmy-winner Carolyn Strauss (Game of Thrones) and Jane Featherstone (Broadchurch) serve as executive producers while Johan Renck and Chris Fry (Humans) co-executive produce. Sanne Wohlenberg (Black Mirror) also produces.

The guy in charge of running the plant was a total douche. "But the core cant have exploded" god that pissed me off. If thats how they reacted to the situation IRL no wonder they were ****ed. Great acting tho. And can I just say Jarred Harris continues to be great in everything he's in. Such an underrated actor.

I mean, they could always have gotten actors that can do good Russian accents, or ****, I wouldn't have even minded hearing Russian and just reading subtitles. The british accents make it make no sense.

This has definitely re-sparked my interest in the subject and I am seriously thinking about actually having a holiday in Ukraine and obviously incorporating a tour of Chernobyl and Pripyat into the trip. In fact, it would be the main reason for the trip although it also looks like a pretty awesome place to visit as well.

It has been really good so far, even for somebody such as myself who has studied the accident in-depth.

one of the best productions ive seen in a very long time. Kinda glad they didnt bother trying to do Russian/Ukranian accents, just makes it sound horrible. The only break that makes the brit accent stand out is the Russian radio and loud speakers.
